Ständehauspark, Public park in central Düsseldorf, Germany.
Ständehauspark is a green space in Düsseldorf featuring two connected ponds, Kaiserteich and Schwanenspiegel, with winding paths beneath tall trees. Various spots throughout the park offer views of the city skyline.
The site was originally a fortress but was transformed into parks and gardens after 1801 under landscape architect Maximilian Weyhe's direction. This redesign continues to shape how the space is organized today.
The park surrounds K21, housed in the former parliament building Ständehaus, which now presents contemporary art from Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen. Visitors can encounter modern artworks while strolling among the trees, experiencing how nature and culture coexist in this space.
An illuminated running path of about 1.5 km (1 mi) circles through the park and is accessible throughout the day. Direct access is available from Graf-Adolf-Platz metro station.
In 2014, Storm Ela destroyed about 58 old trees, significantly changing the park's landscape. The replanting and renovation that followed give parts of the park a relatively young appearance today.

Düsseldorf offers photographers a diverse range of settings that blend centuries of history with contemporary urban design. From the pink Rococo facade of Benrath Palace and the medieval ruins of Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth to the bold modern structures of MedienHafen designed by internationally recognized architects, the city presents countless opportunities to capture compelling images. The contrast between old and new appears throughout Düsseldorf, whether you're photographing the historic gravestones at Alter Golzheimer Friedhof, the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, or the sleek observation deck of the Rheinturm rising 551 feet (168 meters) above the Rhine. The city's green spaces add another dimension to your photography, with the 173-acre (70-hectare) Hofgarten providing tree-lined paths and open meadows, while Nordpark showcases formal Japanese gardens and seasonal flowerbeds. Along Königsallee, a tree-lined canal creates natural reflections that complement the surrounding storefronts and architecture. Whether you're interested in architectural details, natural settings, or urban landscapes, Düsseldorf's varied locations work equally well in morning light, afternoon sun, or after dark when building illumination transforms the cityscape into a different visual experience altogether.
